Coming up in in less than a month. April 19th-20th. I’ll post the entire list of qualifiers but first look at 74kg. Absolutely loaded! Whoever comes out will be battle tested. I’m hoping it’s Nolf but still think Dake wins it. I’m most interested to see how Mesenbrink does against this group of killers though

I think you’re missing a certain 174 lb 4-time champ that said he’s also going 74 kg.

Ya for some reason they have him listed at the non Olympic weight 79kg. Not sure why?

They also have Zain listed at 65kg. If he can make the weight comfortably I feel like he’s the favorite. Also feel like Alirez is going to be tough to beat. He’s so good at freestyle

Willie drew a mock hracket showing Arujau facing the Gilman-Fix winner in the semis. (Using Flo's seeds. Also he didn't make picks, that's just my shorthand for going chalk.)

If so, then Zain would get the Yianni-Alirez winner in the semis.

Also, I'd like to see Cenzo and Carr switch places. Would rather not have Carter vs Cenzo right before Burroughs.
